Registration

Why do I need fill the personal details during the Registration process?

This will help us to understand which survey you'll be interested in!


To make sure the surveys we send you match your interests, characteristics (demographics such as age, gender, etc.), geographic location (state or country where you live) and technology use (type of computer, Internet access, etc.), we rely on the information you provide during the registration process. It also helps us to create a panel of consumers that represents the entire population. When we conduct a study, we analyze and summarize the survey results to highlight certain demographic, geographic and technology-related information. To keep our commitment to your privacy, we always look at survey results in aggregate. We group responses of panel members together based on their member profile characteristics, and never look at results on an individual basis.


Can other members of my household become panelist?

Yes, others members of your household may join our panel, but they must use their own unique user names and email addresses, such that they are different from yours. All panelists must complete their own Registration Process before they become eligible to participate in surveys.


Who is eligible to join Friendclix-Online Surveys?

This panel is open to any legal resident of the India who is 13 years and older at the time of registration. If you are above 13 years but below 18 years, points / prize money will go to your parent/guardian.


Can I register more than once with Friendclix-Online Surveys?

No. We do not allow people to create more than one account with us. We are interested in the opinions of individuals and we cannot have people filling in the same survey for us more than once. We regard the creation of more than one account as fraudulent behavior and it will result in the termination of your membership. If you think that you may have created multiple accounts by mistake, please email us.

Technical

What should I do if I have technical problems when accessing or completing a survey?

We try to make our surveys compatible with all Web browsers, but sometimes problems occur. If you have any technical troubles while accessing or completing a survey, please email us at help@friendclix.com.


Credits

How will I get to know how much I will be paid for each survey?

The reward points for each survey will vary depending on the topic and the content of the survey. These can vary from survey to survey, (e.g. some surveys may have 5 points, while others may have 200 points). 1 reward point is equivalent to INR 1.


Will I always be rewarded for taking part in research?

In general, you will be rewarded by a credit to your Friendclix-Online Surveys account. The rewards work like this: At the beginning of every survey, we ask certain questions to validate your eligibility to carry on the survey. Once selected to progress, simply complete any research and we will reward you with points, clearly stated up-front, which will be credited directly to your Friendclix-Online Surveys account within 4-6 weeks. If we identify that a respondent is not honest in his/her approach to research, for example by providing meaningless answers or trying to do multiple completions of the same survey, we cannot reward this respondent. However, withholding a reward from someone occurs very rarely and is only used as a means to stop the few dishonest people from spoiling the opportunity for everyone else.


Where can I see the balance of and redeem the reward points I have earned?

You can see the details like the number of surveys you have taken till date, the reward points you have earned, how many points you have redeemed until now and what is the balance, after clicking on the ‘MY ACCOUNT’ section.

To redeem the points you have earned, you will need to go to REDEMPTION CENTER section on your homepage. You can redeem a minimum of 100 points. No redemptions can happen for lesser points.


I do not seem to be receiving many surveys, why is this?

There are a couple of reasons why this might be happening:

a) You could log into Friendclix-Online Surveys website using your Friendclix-Online Survey username and password, go to 'Update personal details' under EDIT MY ACCOUNT section and make sure that your email address is listed correctly. If it is not, then you will not receive the invitations we are sending.

b) If you elected not to answer the questions relating to personal and household income in the Registration Survey, this will reduce the number of surveys you are invited to participate in, simply because for many surveys this is vital information. If you would like to check/change these answers, please log in to the Friendclix-Online Surveys website and go to the 'MEMBERS PROFILE' section.

c) If you elected to not complete the Profiler Surveys, this will also reduce the number of surveys you are invited to, simply because we have more information on the people who have completed this survey and they will therefore be invited to surveys more often. To access the Basic Profiler, log-on to your account and click on ‘Edit Profile’.


Why haven't I received any credit yet?

When you have successfully completed a survey, the reward is held in pending status until the entire study has drawn to a close and the data has been processed. Please keep in mind that studies can take up to a month to finish, depending on the size and complexity of the study. Your Friendclix-Online Surveys account will generally be credited within 4-6 weeks of successfully completing a survey.


If you have not received your credit after 6 weeks or a credit you were expecting has not shown up in your pending credit, please email us so that we can investigate the delay.


Do I get any points for completing my profile?

You get a one-time 15 point sign-up bonus as soon as you join, and get 5 points for completing per profile category.


Do I get anything for participating in Polls?

Yes, for some polls, you get a chance to earn extra rewards.


Referral

How do I invite my family and friends to join the panel?

Just log on to your account and go to the 'Invite Friends' section, then follow the steps. For panelists who refer friend and their friend registers and take his/her first paid survey - they get reward points. For every referred member who joins the panel, the person referring will get 10 reward points each.


What do I get when I refer somebody?

Each referral earns you 1 point.
